Dem debate postponed, Leominster GOP event still on

Congressmen Stephen Lynch and Ed Markey have postponed their debate scheduled for Thursday night in Springfield, in light of the Boston Marathon bombings.

The debate will likely take place next Wednesday at WGBY in Springfield, but the day is not yet confirmed, according to Lynch spokesman Conor Yunits.

Republican Senate candidate Dan Winslow, meanwhile, plans to attend a meet-and-greet forum at the Elks Club in Leominster tonight, but plans to "keep the politics out of it," said Winslow spokesman Charlie Pearce.

Republican Gabriel Gomez does not plan to attend the Leominster event, according to a campaign spokesman. It was not immediately known whether Republican Michael Sullivan would attend.

"It will be an evening of remembrances and a time for resolve," Pearce said. The forum starts at 7 p.m. at the Elks Club. The Republicans also plan another forum in Taunton Thursday night.
